About Rebecca

Rebecca Williams is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She welcomes people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, eating concerns, depression, addiction and anger. Rebecca also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related worries, sleep problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem and career transitions.

Rebecca is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers individual counselling for people aged 16 and over. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make early sessions straightforward and practical so people feel understood.

Her background blends different therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. Rebecca uses client-centred methods to focus on a person’s own goals, alongside cognitive-behavioural ideas for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques where these suit the concern.

Sessions aim to address practical day-to-day impacts as well as emotional experience. Rebecca pays attention to how stress and relationships affect mood, sleep and coping. She will work with someone to set clear steps they can try between sessions and review what helps.

Rebecca has four years' experience and describes her practice as holistic, taking into account physical, mental, emotional and social needs. To begin, people are invited to follow the simple sign-up and matching steps and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How Rebecca's approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The counsellor listens attentively and reflects what comes up, helping someone feel heard and clearer about what they want to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss options and adapt methods to fit each person's needs, goals and preferences. That way the plan evolves as the relationship develops and progress is reviewed collaboratively.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or after work. It can also make shorter skill-focused sessions simpler when less bandwidth or time is available. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use a mix of approaches and will help tailor session length and focus so the work suits everyday life.
